Thanks for so many answer (also to Michal and Paul). The thing I wanted is straight forward: I got a 4 CPU server for serving webpages, packaging and other stuff. Packaging only consumes 1 CPU and the rest is nearly idle, so I wanted to know if packagin (rpmbuild -bb) could be faster. As I know now RPM does all in serial I know there's no way to speed it up. The make-options (-j..) are not relevant for my case.
